For all the Corsair wizards out there I need some help figuring out what is going with my receiver!

The rig was working fine until this weekend then the following problem showed up:

AGC isn't working properly, the receiver has low sensitivity on the upper bands (as compared to my Kenwood TS690) and the weirdest problem of all: when I push in the RF Gain control the receiver sensitivity drops about 20db as if the 20-db attn control has been turned on, but then when I pull it out the attn light comes on alright but the receive sensitivity comes way up as if the 20-db attn circuit was bypassed!! So, this circuit has suddenly started working backwards....E G A D S!!

I'm looking for advise on where in the circuits to begin looking for the problem....Many thanks to anyone who can provide any advice!
